DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional diagram of an assembled wearableelectronic device according to an embodiment of the invention and FIG. 2is an explored diagram of the assembled wearable electronic device ofFIG. 1. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an assembled wearable electronicdevice 100 of the embodiment is, for example, a smart watch and includesa first body 110, a second body 120 and an engaging assembly. Theengaging assembly is disposed at the first body 110 and has two engagingmembers 130. The first body 110 is a portion of the watch body and hasat least one function and a primary system. The primary system is forproviding the independent operation of the first body 110 and producinga related first data. The second body 120 includes the other portion ofthe watch body and has at least one function, a secondary system and afixing assembly 120 a, and the secondary system is for providing theindependent operation of the second body 120 and producing a relatedsecond data. The fixing assembly 120 a is, for example, a watch band.The second body 120 is fixed at a fixed object (for example, the user'swrist) through the fixing assembly 120 a. Each of the engaging members130 is movably disposed at the first body 110 and can be engaged withthe second body 120 such that the first body 110 and the second body 120are combined as shown by FIG. 1. When the engagement between theengaging members 130 and the second body 120 is released, the first body110 and the second body 120 are separated from each other as shown byFIG. 2.

In the embodiment, the aforementioned primary system of the first body110, for example, includes a primary control module, a primary powermodule, a primary memory module, a primary input module, a displaymodule and a transferring module. The aforementioned secondary system,for example, includes a secondary control module, a secondary powermodule, a secondary memory module, a secondary input module and adetection module. Moreover, the detection module is, for example, aphysiological detection module, an environment detection module, aposition detection module or a direction detection module.

In the embodiment, when the second body 120 is independently operated,the secondary control module makes the data produced by the detectionmodule, the input module or other secondary system during independentoperation stored into the secondary memory module to serve as a seconddata (for example, a heartbeat data for the physiological detectionmodule to produce during detecting the physiological of the user). Then,when the first body 110 and the second body 120 are connected to eachother, the second data of the second body 120 is read through theoperation of the primary control module of the first body 110. At thetime, the second data, for example the heartbeat data, is transferred toother electronic devices or to a cloud storage database through atransferring module of the primary system (for example, a Bluetoothcommunications module) for further storage or analysis.

FIGS. 3A-3C are diagrams of flowchart for detaching the assembledwearable electronic device of FIG. 1. Referring to FIGS. 3A-3C,specifically, each engaging member 130 of the engaging assembly isslidably disposed at the first body 110 in a first direction D1. Whenthe two engaging members 130 of the engaging assembly respectively moveto a first position P1 and a first position P1′ shown by FIG. 3A, thetwo engaging members 130 are respectively located at the two oppositesides 110 a of the first body 110 to be engaged with the second body120, so that the first body 110 and the second body 120 are combined.The user can apply a force onto the two engaging members 130 of theengaging assembly such that the two engaging members 130 of the engagingassembly respectively move to a second position P2 and a second positionP2′ shown by FIG. 3B. At the time, the two engaging members 130 are notengaged with the second body 120 any more, and the first body 110 andthe second body 120 are configured to be separated from each other in asecond direction D2 perpendicular to the first direction D1. Thus, theuser can easily combine the first body 110 and the second body 120 orseparate the first body 110 from the second body 120 to replace thesecond body 120, which is helpful to increase the variety of theappearance of the assembled wearable electronic device 100.

In more details, the engaging assembly of the assembled wearableelectronic device 100 in the embodiment includes at least one elasticmember 140 (two ones are given in FIG. 3), one hook 132 of the engagingassembly is employed and disposed at the first body 110 (two ones aregiven in FIG. 3), and at least one locking slot 122 is disposed at thesecond body 120 (two ones are given in FIG. 3). Each hook 132 is aportion of the corresponding engaging member 130. One end of each theelastic member 140 is connected to the first body 110, while the otherend of each the elastic member 140 is connected to the correspondinghook 132. The two hooks 132 are configured to be positioned respectivelyat the first position P1 and the first position P1′ in FIG. 3A throughthe elastic force between the two elastic members 140. At the time, thehook 132 of each the engaging member 130 is inserted into thecorresponding locking slot 122 such that the first body 110 and thesecond body 120 contact each other. When the user applies a force ontothe two engaging members 130 to enable the two hooks 132 withstandingthe elastic force between the two elastic members 140 to respectivelymove to the first position P1 and the first position P1′ as shown byFIG. 3B, each of the hooks 132 moves from the corresponding locking slot122, so that the first body 110 and the second body 120 are separatedfrom each other as shown by FIG. 3C. Once the first body 110 and thesecond body 120 are separated from each other and the user does notapply forces onto the engaging members 130 any more, the two engagingmembers 130, through the elastic force between the two elastic members140, would respectively resume to the first position P1 and the firstposition P1′ shown by FIG. 3C.

When the user wants to make the first body 110 as shown by FIG. 3C andthe second body 120 combined again, the user can apply forces onto thetwo engaging members 130 to move the two engaging members 130 to thefirst position P1 and the first position P1′ and move the first body 110onto the second body 120 as shown by FIG. 3B. Then, the user releasestwo engaging members 130, so that the two engaging members 130, throughthe elastic force between the two elastic members 140, wouldrespectively resume to the first position P1 and the first position P1′shown by FIG. 3A to complete the assembling between the first body 110and the second body 120.

The invention does not limit the disposing positions of the engagingmembers and the elastic member. In other embodiments, each of theengaging members is movably disposed at (for example, slidably disposedat) the second body, each of the locking slots is formed at the firstbody, and the two ends of each of the elastic members are respectivelyconnected between the second body and the corresponding engaging member,so that each of the engaging members and the first body engaged witheach other through the elastic force of the elastic members, which canwithstand the elastic force of the elastic members to disengage theengaging members from the first body so that the first body and thesecond body are separated from each other.

As shown by FIGS. 3A-3C, each of the engaging members 130 in theembodiment has an accommodation slot 134, and each of the elasticmembers 140 is, for example, a compression spring and at least partiallyaccommodated in the corresponding accommodation slot 134 to save thelayout space in the first body 110.
